2006 CCIRN Meeting Report Xing Li 2006-07-19 11:00-12:30
Meeting Agenda • International R&E network routing issues • Making the case for R&E networks (in countries with emerging and existing NRENs) • Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure issues • Update on GLIF progress • CCIRN role, activities review
International R&E network routing issues • A lot of discussion • More rational interconnection agreements amongst int’l peers • The creation of an R&E routing mailing list (NANOG-like) • Stricter filtering, perhaps based on route registries • Implementing rfc 4384 “BGP communities for data collection” with extensions • To use tunnels for MPLS traffic exceptions instead of poking holes in network on an ad hoc basis • Reduction of asymmetric routing policies • Removal of a localpref controls, in favour of BGP meds and AS-path prepending • Formal communications and separation of customer routes from transit routes • Responsive NOC-NOC communication • Use more debug tools such as the Routeviews project • Creating routing guideline (TEIN2) • Development of BGP TTL and BGP scope • Set up Mailing List for RENOG and develop charter for operating group
Making the case for R&E networks The role for the TERENA NRN Compendium: • Network and progress statistics, • Providing a look to the future • Document progress being made Action: • Encourage NRENs to answer the TERENA Compendium questionnaire and investigate harmonization between continents
Authentication and authorization infrastructure issues • National AAIs are emerging with many NRENs involved in operating the AAI as well as looking to leverage the AAI to support reservation of bandwidth/lightpaths, authenticated network access (e.g. wireless access), access to performance measurement and monitoring data and tools, etc. • Research and Education Federations (REFEDS) – is an informal group that talks about how different federations could operate • a data protection directive for federations, • finding a common denominators among policies • assuring level of assurance (LoA), • peering between federations • Distinctions • In Europe and Australia, federations are established under NRENs or semi governmental affiliation. • In the US, no government shelter is available so liability and indemnification are an issue. As a result, in Europe many countries are coming along; but in the US have to handle the issues with each University, lawyer by lawyer.
Short GLIF update • Apart from IP access, GEANT is developing point to point services. • For the on fibre group, the standard is for NRENs to get a 2nd 10G port for GigE (or a portion of 10 G path) to allocate to points in the GEANT cloud. Service can be requested and at any time can have a route provisioned on the GEANT network. • The off fibre group can also reserve dedicated paths by reserving part of their existing bandwidth. • Internet2 • The trial 1G point-to-point service starting with Internet2 and how technical and commercial policies have to be developed. • The next GLIF meeting • September 11-12, 2006 in Tokyo.
CCIRN role, activities review • Suggest new language for Terms of Reference
Next CCIRN meeting • APAN would host the next meeting of CCIRN in 2007 in Xi'An. • APAN will inform of the date of APAN Xi'An meeting.
